Chapter 64 Nancy, I’m Sorry
Nicholas rubbed his eyebrows deeply. He felt baffled now.
Especially when Nancy was crying, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
But soon, he forced himself to forget that feeling.
When Nicholas looked at Nancy again, his eyes became very sharp. His voice was icy, “It’s my fault today, but Madelline won’t call me for no reason, especially at such a late hour. She must. have an important matter.”
“Nancy, I’m sorry. I have to answer this call.”
Nancy smiled.
It turns out that every time she persists, it tells her that persistence has no meaning.
She blinked and suddenly felt that she didn’t know this man.
“Nicholas, you have to answer it, don’t you?”
Her voice suddenly calmed down, no longer as hysterical and sharp as before.
After looking at her momentarily, Nicholas finally answered with one word, “Yes.”
Haha! Such an expected answer!
For some reason, Nancy became calmer after hearing this word.
She reached out and took out Nicholas’ phone, hidden behind her.
Then, she held it with both hands and handed it to Nicholas respectfully.
Nicholas felt very uncomfortable seeing Nancy like that.
He squeezed her fingers and comforted her gently, Nancy, don’t be like this. I’m just answering the phone.”
“Really?” Nancy replied calmly, without saying another word.
She lowered her eyes and rolled herself into the blanket. Then, she reached out to turn off the light in the room, leaving only a pale yellow wall lamp with a faint light so that the room would not be too dark.
Two minutes later, Nicholas came back after answering the phone.
Nancy covered herself in the blanket, with only her head exposed.
Nicholas hesitated momentarily, then looked at her and said, “Madelline’s car broke down in a mountainous area. I’ll pick her up and will be back soon.”
Nancy blinked and said nothing.
Nicholas leaned forward to the bed and gently ran his fingers through Nancy’s forehead hair. Then he lowered his head, preparing to kiss her forehead.
As if Nancy sensed it, she immediately turned her head and quickly dodged away.
Nicholas’ hands suddenly froze mid-air in embarrassment.
He took back his hand and promised in a low voice, “I will go out for a while, and I will come back. tonight.”
Nicholas changed his clothes, opened the door and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, he heard Nancy’s voice in the darkness, “Nicholas, you made such a good promise. Have you ever thought about what would happen if you couldn’t return tonight? Wouldn’t that embarrass you a lot?”
“I’ll come back tonight,” said Nicholas firmly.
“Oh?” Nancy smiled.
“But your promises are no longer worth anything to me. They all look like clumsy lies.”
She was naive and believed what he said, but what was the result? What she got was not his gratitude and guilt but repeated lies.
“Nancy,” Nicholas called her name. From his voice, Nancy knew that he was angry.
“Do you want me to count them for you?”
Nancy painfully recalled the lies that left her covered in wounds.
“That night, you answered a phone call. I asked you what happened, and you said it was nothing. But as soon as I fell asleep, you got up and left. You didn’t come back all night. Nicholas, you always thought I didn’t know anything. I know everything. I didn’t sleep at all that night. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t bother to expose you.”
“Now, you said you were answering a phone call, but within five minutes, it turned into going out to pick her up.”
“Did you say that you would come back tonight? If you were me, do you think you would believe it?”
Nancy asked Nicholas calmly.
She was so calm as she felt that what she was talking about now was none of her business.
“Nicholas, I may be a little dense, and I’m not a particularly smart person. But I’m not stupid.”
“How can you hurt me over and over again?”
“You can go now.”
When Nancy said that, she suddenly felt relaxed.
Nicholas suddenly turned around, threw himself on the bed and held Nancy tightly, “I’m sorry, Nancy. I didn’t know I had done so many things to hurt you.”
“I promise I will come back tonight.”
After saying that, Nicholas left.
The room suddenly became empty.
Nancy wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and closed her eyes.
Soon, she felt sleepy. That night, she found that it was not so difficult to have Nicholas not around. She could sleep alone.
It was just that she couldn’t let go of the past. Every time, she would subconsciously tell herself that Nicholas had to stay with her and sleep next to her before she could fall asleep.
She believes all habits can be changed.
One day, she will be able to erase all habits related to Nicholas.
Nancy was alone when she woke up in the morning.
She glanced at the bed next to her. Maybe because she never expected Nicholas, she felt less disappointed.
However, when folding the blanket, Nancy discovered that the blanket on the other side was hot.
She stretched out her hand and touched the bed next to her. It was also hot.
Is he back?
However, Nancy no longer cared.
When she went to the dining room, an exquisite breakfast was placed on the table.
Because they were all small portions, the variety of food was vibrant. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Shrimp dumplings, sandwiches, butter bread, samosa…
Almost all of them were Nancy’s favorite dishes.
Nancy was surprised when she saw Nicholas walking out of the kitchen wearing a dark grey apron.
She thought Nicholas bought that breakfast, but she didn’t expect Nicholas to make them all.
After taking off his apron, Nicholas brought Nancy’s favorite dish in front of her.
“Thank you!” Nancy said gently.
Hearing this word, Nicholas was stunned for a moment.
Thank you?
She was saying thank you to him.
During breakfast, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the dining room was tranquil.
Finally, breakfast was over. When Nicholas looked at her, Nancy was about to get up and said, “Lynn said you have an interview to attend today. I’ll take you there.”
“No need.”
Nancy refused without thinking-
“Isn’t it at Serenity Hospital? I’m heading in the same direction,” Nicholas said.
Nancy said, “Yes, but the written test is in the afternoon. I’ll go there by myself in the afternoon.”
“Well, okay.”
After saying that, Nicholas left.
After sitting in the car, he immediately called Lynn. “What time is Nancy’s interview?”
“Nine o’clock in the morning.”
“Are you sure?” Nicholas asked coldly.
“Of course, I’m sure. Last time, Mrs. Sallow told me to book a car at eight o’clock in the morning.”
Nicholas’ guess was correct.
Nancy had lied to him.
Does she hate him so much that she doesn’t even want to sit in the same car?
